Actor RJ Mitte, who appeared in the popular U.S. drama "Breaking Bad," has passed away at the age of 34.
According to foreign media reports, including the U.S. entertainment outlet People on the 12th (local time), RJ Mitte died in Brownsville, Texas, on that day. He was 34 years old.
In a statement, an agent for RJ Mitte said, "We are deeply saddened to announce the tragic death of the beloved actor, philanthropist, and passionate disability rights advocate RJ Mitte."
The statement continued, "Mitte authentically portrayed his character in 'Breaking Bad' based on his own experience living with cerebral palsy," adding that "through this, he contributed to raising awareness about disabilities and promoting social inclusion."
The specific cause of death has not been officially disclosed. Local police are investigating the circumstances of the death, and it is reported that no signs of criminal activity have been found.
RJ Mitte gained recognition for his role as Walter Junior, the son of protagonist Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston), in the U.S. drama "Breaking Bad," which aired from 2008 to 2013.
In particular, he received praise for portraying a character with the same disability in the series, as he actually suffers from cerebral palsy. He appeared in all five seasons of "Breaking Bad," sharing in the show's popularity.
Since then, he has continued his acting career by appearing in various works, including the dramas "Switched at Birth" and "Guardians of Justice," and the films "The Recollection" and "The Oak Room."
In addition to his acting work, he took the lead in promoting disability rights. He served as a spokesperson for a disability support organization and, as chairman of the Mitte Foundation, worked to eliminate prejudice against people with disabilities and improve public awareness.
The bereaved family requested, "Please respect the privacy of RJ Mitte's family and close ones during this time."
